Our legal advisers have identified possible flaws in the law regarding Tenancy Deposits and are currently clarifying this with DCLG, the government department responsible for the Scheme.

RLA will therefore announce its advice to members and landlords as soon as possible. Details of our own scheme are being finalised taking into account this recently discovered legal query and costs of other schemes. Our aim is always to provide best value to RLA members.

The deposit scheme only applies to deposits taken after April 6th, so any deposits before that are excluded. It's still business as usual before that date.

Extensive FAQs are on the RLA website – click the link on the home page
